AMONGST the modern French editions, Livre de Poche, with
forty-four of the seventy-odd volumes, has been the usual reference edition. In 1988, however, Hachette completed publication
of the Voyages extraordinaires at a very reasonable price. Michel
de l'Ormeraie and Rencontre (reprinted by Edito-Service) are the
only other complete editions since the original Hetzel one.

The only British scholarly books on Verne to date are: Andrew Martin's The Mask of the Prophet: The Extraordinary Fictions
of Jules Verne ( Oxford University Press, 1990) and William Butcher's Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Self: Space
and Time in the 'Voyages extraordinaires' ( Macmillan, 1990). Arthur B. Evans Jules Verne Rediscovered: Didacticism and
the Scientific Novel ( New York, Greenwood Press, 1988) is also
worth consulting.
